No shoulder harness - they gave me a sling. The dislocation is considered the more serious injury, funnily enough, though it does not look as dramatic. But should be ok, I am told. Here's an odd thing - the shoulder that hit the floor was my right shoulder. But it was the left clavicle that snapped.

I hope they used copious amounts of anesthesia when sorting the bits and pieces back to their intended articulation.I experienced a car crash a couple of years ago. My only injury was from burns on the wrists (from the inflation of the collision bag), and a broken finger(Outer index phalange). However, as it had an awkward angle for guitar-playing, I asked the doctor to adjust it before fixing the fracture. Not a wise request without anesthesia, I can tell. :-)

Hope you're getting better soon, enableing you to catch up with the risky hobbies :-)Casssanders

I think mine is partially dislocated. Pops a lot and the whole joint is 2x. I got an MRI last week and have called my MD 6times but no consult yet. MD or MT... I heard that this is problematic to fix. Close to the subclavian so it requires a cardio surgeon. Even if this heals on its own, the size of the insertion is obvious. Lifestyle threatening!

Three key points to make when debating the existence of God. 1. Defining God First, in asking: Does God exist? It would be good to get some clarity about which God we are talking about. I
shall assume we are talking about a God that is omniscient, omnipotent, and
perfectly good: Prof
William Lane Craig defines God as a 'maximally great being' - which he says requires
that God be morally perfect. Prof
Richard Swinburne similarly characterises God as 'a person who is omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good'.

It suffices to establish atheism, then (given these guys' characterisations/definitions of theism), that I show beyond reasonable doubt that there's no being that is omniscient, omnipotent and perfectly good.

What is Humanism? “Humanism” is a word that has
had and continues to have a number of meanings. The focus here is on kind of atheistic
world-view espoused by those who organize and campaign under that banner in the
UK and abroad. We should acknowledge that
there remain other uses of term. In one of the loosest senses of the expression,
a “Humanist” is someone whose world-view gives special importance to human
concerns, values and dignity. If that is what a Humanist is, then of course most
of us qualify as Humanists, including many religious theists. But the fact
remains that, around the world, those who organize under the label “Humanism” tend
to sign up to a narrower, atheistic view. What does Humanism,
understood in this narrower way, involve? The boundaries of the concept remain somewhat
vague and ambiguous. However, most of those who organize under the banner of Humanism
would accept the following minimal seven-point characterization of their world-view.

Folk who believe in fairies, or miracles, or alien
visitation, are generally fond of an argument called ARGUMENT TO THE BEST
EXPLANATION.
Here's an example of argument to the best explanation (or abduction, as it's sometimes known):
I see shoes poking out from under the curtain and the curtain
twitching slightly above them. I can also hear breathing. I infer there's
someone standing behind the curtain. Why? Because that's the best available
explanation of what I observe. True enough, the twitching might be caused by the breeze from an
open window and the shoes were just coincidentally placed in the same spot. But
I reckon that's a bit less likely than that there's someone standing there (for
what explains the breathing noise?)
Quite what makes an explanation the 'best' is controversial,
but there's some agreement that the simpler and more elegant an explanation,
the better. So, for example, I could explain that twitching curtain by supposing
tha…
